when to pull out!!

[snipe98]

i am just wondering how everyone else does this. I use a hop spider most of the time and after boil I will do a whirlpool and give it 10-15 mins to let everything settle down. I then chill using a plate chiller so after all of that I am normally chilled and in the fermentor in about 30 mins after boil is complete.

so question is how many of you pull your hops/hop spider out pretty much as soon as boil is completed?

how many of you leave it in there for the whole time?

and what effects would doing it either way have on the final product?

thanks for your insight

Just think about the people like myself who don't use those hop spider thingys and throw them in there raw dog.

I throw in raw and let them stay in the whole time. I want every bit of aroma out of the hops myself.

After I'm done I usually play with my sac a bit and squeeze the fluids out

I leave it in for the whole time... then two weeks later, I'll come back and hit it again. Stick it in dry.

there's another thread going on about this. it's called either whirlpooling, steeping, or hopstand. it's a good way to get more flavor/aroma out of your hops, though with how quickly you're getting it out of the appropriate temp range, you're not getting as much as you could out of it. here's a link about it:

It may have started that way, but I don't think this thread is about that anymore. You may want to withdraw your post.

Oh my --- hoptus interruptus --- does it ever work the way you intend?
